Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are labels for lifting equipment and accessories that record the last thorough examination and when the next one is due. They are used by lifting equipment inspectors and hire companies, and usually go on the equipment body or a flat plate on the accessory. Each label carries your details, so the customer knows exactly who did the work and who to call next time.
The label is printed with the heading "Thorough Examination" and "Next examination due", write-on lines for "Examined", "Next examination", "Examiner" and "ID / SWL", and a strip with your company name, phone number. You can add your own logo, change the wording, or pre-print details that are the same on every label.

Frequently asked questions
About thorough examination (loler) labels.
What is printed on the labels?
The heading "Thorough Examination", write-on lines for "Examined", "Next examination", "Examiner" and "ID / SWL" and your company name and phone number. You can add your logo or change the wording in the online designer, and you approve exactly what you see.
Can I write on the labels?
Yes. Matt paper takes a ballpoint or a permanent pen. The waterproof polypropylene labels have a matt laminate: use a permanent marker. Gloss paper is best for labels that are fully pre-printed.
Which material should I choose for outdoors or damp areas?
Waterproof polypropylene. Paper labels are for dry, indoor use. Polypropylene resists water and handling, so it suits outdoor units, lofts, meter boxes, vans and plant rooms.
Do these labels make my equipment or premises compliant?
No label does that on its own. The label is a visible record of dates and contacts; the inspection, service or test and your paperwork are what count.
What is the smallest pack, and do bigger packs cost less per label?
Paper labels start at 48 per pack and polypropylene at 250. The price per label drops as the pack grows; the table under the price shows the price each for every pack size. For a size we do not list, ask for a quote.
Will these stay on lifting equipment outdoors?
Choose waterproof polypropylene and apply to a clean, dry, flat surface. For chains and slings, fix the label to an ID tag or plate rather than the chain itself.
How long do they take?
Saver turnaround is ready to dispatch in about 7 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed, Standard in 5 and Express in 3. Delivery is on top: UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £99 and over (goods total); remote areas are quoted.

Questions
Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.
What size are Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels?
Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are 96 × 68 mm, from £27.67. For other sizes see Isolation “Do Not Switch On” Labels, Fire Stopping Labels or Ladder Inspection Labels. The price updates live as you choose the other options. Every listed size and its price is in the Prices by size table on this page.
Paper or polypropylene: which should I choose for Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels?
The options are gloss paper (indoor), matt paper (indoor, easy to write on) or waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor). Gloss paper suits labels that are fully pre-printed and used indoors. Matt paper is easiest to write on with a ballpoint, for dry indoor use. Waterproof polypropylene with a matt laminate copes with damp, handling and outdoor units; write on it with a permanent marker. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are printed on Gloss paper (indoor), Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on) and Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor).
What pen should I use to fill in these labels?
On matt paper a ballpoint or a fine permanent pen works well. On the waterproof polypropylene labels use a permanent marker, because ballpoint ink sits on the laminate and can smudge. Fill in examined, next examination and examiner before you stick the label down if the surface is awkward to write on. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are printed on Gloss paper (indoor), Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on) and Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor).
I do not have artwork. Can you design it for me?
The Artwork choice on this page offers: "Add my details to this label design" (free), "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. You can also design it yourself in the online designer at no charge. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are 96 × 68 mm.
Can I design these labels online?
Yes. Open the designer from this page, pick a starting layout, add your logo, text and photos, and move things around on the canvas. Checks run as you work: sample text left in, text that is too small, items outside the safe area and low resolution images are flagged before you can approve. You approve exactly what you see, then add it to the basket. Designing and previewing is free; the on-screen preview carries a small watermark that is never printed. For Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels, set your file up at the size you order, for example 96 × 68 mm.
How much do Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels cost?
Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels start from £27.67 with size 96 × 68 mm and material Gloss paper (indoor) on the Saver turnaround. The price in the calculator changes live as you pick the size, material, finishing, quantity and turnaround, so you see the final price before you add to basket. No VAT is added because we are not VAT registered. Delivery is added at checkout: UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).
Do you charge for delivery?
UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it), so one label at £27.67 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.
How long do Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels take to make?
On the option the calculator opens on, Saver is ready to dispatch in 7 working days, Standard in 5 and Express in 3. These are working days to dispatch, counted from when your order and artwork are confirmed, and other sizes or materials can take a day more or less: the calculator shows the exact days next to each turnaround. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels start at £27.67 before delivery.
Can you print my scheme or trade body logo on the labels?
No. Scheme and trade body logos are licensed to their members, so we do not print them. We print your registration or membership number as plain text, and you can add your own company logo. If your scheme supplies its own logo labels or rules on how to show membership, follow those. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are printed on Gloss paper (indoor), Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on) and Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor).
Can I get Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels in another size?
Custom sizes: Other sizes on request (ask for a quote). You can see this with the other details in the Specifications tab on this page. If you need something different, ask a question on this page or use Get a quote and we will tell you what is possible. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are 96 × 68 mm.
What material options are there for Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels?
You can choose gloss paper (indoor), matt paper (indoor, easy to write on) or waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor). This is the material the item is printed on. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are printed on Gloss paper (indoor), Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on) and Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor).
How strong is the adhesive on Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels?
Adhesive: Permanent. You can see this with the other details in the Specifications tab on this page. If you need something different, ask a question on this page or use Get a quote and we will tell you what is possible. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are printed on Gloss paper (indoor), Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on) and Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor).
Where do I stick these labels?
Usually go on the equipment body or a flat plate on the accessory. Wipe off dust and grease first and press the label down firmly from the middle outwards. The adhesive is permanent, so place it where it can stay. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are printed on Gloss paper (indoor), Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on) and Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor).
What file should I upload?
A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
Do you check my file before printing?
Yes. A person from our team checks every uploaded file for size, bleed and resolution, and tells you if something needs fixing before anything is made. If you design online instead, you approve exactly what you see on screen, and that is what we print. We print what you supply, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates yourself too. Production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
Can I order now and send my artwork later?
Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels are 96 × 68 mm.
What resolution does my artwork need for these labels?
For items read close up, aim for 300 dpi at the finished size. At 300 dpi a 96 × 68 mm design needs about 1,134 × 803 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.
What happens if my file is not good enough to print?
Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
Do I get the print file of my design?
Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels, set your file up at the size you order, for example 96 × 68 mm.
How do Thorough Examination (LOLER) Labels arrive?
Supplied: On sheets, kiss cut, ready to peel. You can see this with the other details in the Specifications tab on this page. If you need something different, ask a question on this page or use Get a quote and we will tell you what is possible.

What does the designer check before I approve?
It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself.
